Elections 2017

It's that time of the year again, when all people aged 18 and over get to vote for, who should be our prime minister. In this presentation, there are activities that include voting. I hope you enjoy it.

Simple and compound sentences

This presentation is from a writing task we did a few weeks ago. I learned from this task the differences between simple and compound sentences. I had to write fifteen simple sentences and fifteen compound sentences.

Letter of support

Dearest Ari,

I am deeply sorry about the earthquake that occurred in Wellington, where you live. I’ve never experienced being in an earthquake, but I hope that your family is safe and nobody is injured.

Hope that any pet of yours is okay. Seeing all the pictures on T.V makes me feel sorry for those who live around you.

-Is your house safe? Hopefully if there are young children in your home that they are also safe and being fed.

I hope and pray that Wellington and the rest of the cities that were hit by the the earthquake recover as soon as possible, and remember that all of you are always in my prayers.

Yours sincerely

INEZ ✌

Compare and Contrast

Hello this week my reading group read two articles about tramper getting lost. Here is a compare and contrast drawing about the differences about the two articles and the similarities about the tow articles.
I hope you enjoy reading my post :)

Donald Trump and the US elections

WALT: Compare and Contrast the differences between peoples views.

This week my literacy group have reading an article based on the Donald Trump elections. I have learnt a lot about the elections from reading this article, and seeing what the republicans believe in and the democrats, to me its pretty sad to see what the Republicans think and believe. Only because they are willing to  help a minority of people which seems to be the wealthy. Whereas the Democrats are willing to help the majority of people. We looked at Politics this week because we are voting for our Auckland Mayor.

The Strength of Roots.

WALT: Identify language features of the text and sentence types

On Monday we were introduced to our new reading task for the week. We were given a story called 'The strength of Roots'. Our Walt this week is to identify language features of the text and sentence types such as Metaphors, Similes, Personification, Complex, Precise Verbs and so on. The story had a lot of descriptive writing in it. It's about a young boy in Samoa at the plantation. When all of a sudden heavy waves dragged him down into the rough water.

The Olympic Games

Olympic Games is a sport event that happens every four years. More than two hundred nations participate in the games. The games have grown so much nearly all nations around the world are being represented, by their top athletes.

The Olympics started off with just one sport. 100 meter race. Only men participated the event. No women were allowed, only single women. The first games began in 1896. The games were held in honour of  Zeus, king of the gods, and were staged every four years at Olympia. These days women are able to compete in the Olympic games. Unlike the ancient Olympic games women were not able to participate.

This year the Olympics are being held in Rio. More than eleven thousand athletes are competing against each other this year. On the fifth of August 2016 was the opening ceremony for the Olympics. A lot of countries were called out and all their athletes walked out into the stadium proudly. More than one hundred athletes are representing New Zealand.

I look forward to seeing the closing ceremony for the Olympics because I can’t wait to see how they are going to celebrate. Hopefully you’ve learnt some facts about the Olympics. Bye!

Fun Year 7 Week REflection

On the last week of Term one we ate pasta, watched a movie and made flower lei blankets. On the first day of the fun week we watched a movie named ' From Boys 2 Men'. The movie was made by Ms Muliamasealii's drama group. When we finished watching it we had to write about it. On the second day we  started making the lei blankets. On the last day there was a cooking group who cooked pasta, mince and cheese. That that is the fun week we had.

Bonded Labourers

Description of Learning ... In this text I learnt a lot of how the life of children and adults are in Bangladesh. It's very sad that some children don't get to go to school like I do. Some children start working when they are four till seventeen, and these children work dangerous jobs. Some work to make, cigarettes, matches and clothes which I think is pretty dangerous.

Animation - Polar Bears

My chosen animal is a Polar Bear. The Polar bears white fur helps them blend in with the snow an ice. A polar bear has a layer of fat under its skin which helps it stay warm (when cold) . It also has a thick coat of fur. That's how it adapts's itself.
